Halloween Witch Costume Coupon Codes and Discounts 2012

If you decide to go as a witch this Halloween, you should be armed with some facts so you can make the costume all that more convincing. First, let's hear your best evil laugh -- not too bad! I think you have great witch potential.

We think of a witch as an ugly old woman with a wort on her crooked nose and a pointy hat with a wide brim - flying away on her broomstick. But in the history of witches, this image is pretty new, brought on from drawings and movies. The definition of a witch is someone who practices witchcraft. So there are an unlimited number of witch costume possibilities, as long as you show witchcraft in some way.

Why do witches fly on broomsticks? This image came from Europe, where brooms had several meanings. The broom is often associated with women, as a tool they use most often in the home, and since most witches were believed to be female, this became a symbol. Originally, witches could be seen in drawings riding any type of similar object, including pitchforks and shovels!

The most popular witches spell actually comes from a Macbeth by Shakespeare. Here's how it goes: "Double, double toil and trouble, Fire burn and cauldron bubble. Fillet of a fenny snake, In the cauldron boil and bake; Eye of newt and tongue of dog, Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting, Lizard's leg, and owlet's wing, - For a charm of powerful trouble, Like a hell-broth boil and bubble."
